Employee Assistance Program

We introduced the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to achieve maximum employee performance by preventing situations where workplace stress may prevent employees from adequately demonstrating their innate abilities. In the area of mental health, Yokogawa EAP enables employees to lead healthy, rewarding company lives by providing mental health support for the prevention of mental disorders as well as early detection, early care and treatment, and assistance for returning to the workplace.

As measures for promoting sound mental health, EAP promotes awareness of mental health by holding seminars, providing useful information and sponsoring activities aimed at creating a pleasant workplace environment where fellow employees show consideration for each other and make efforts to ensure that adequate communication takes place on a daily basis. The program also conducts stress surveys and sponsors lectures on preventive measures for reducing stress that take into consideration the workplace environment. To assist in workplace improvement, the program also plays an active role in prevention and early detection of mental disorders. It has established a system to enable appropriate support at each stage for employees with mental health disorders, employees on leave, and for the care and smooth integration of those employees returning to employment.

EAP also has a system of consultation both internally and externally and provides consultation in various areas including career consultation as well as mental health consultation.
